When Thomas wakes up, he finds that he's not only lost his memory, but also signed away his freedom to Gotham.
Lawless criminals run rampant here, evil creatures abound, and on top of that, every day he sees bats and owls fighting. The city's ecological balance is clearly in serious trouble.
But what does that have to do with him? He's busy retiring and just wants a good night's sleep.
Other villains: Keep dreaming!
Thomas: What's wrong with you people?
Word is, Gotham's richest man invested in a famous asylum, and he might even be Thomas's biological brother.
He decides to give his brother a hand.
Bruce is kidnapped, and when he gets home, he discovers he's gained a biological brother.
Apparently, his younger brother was sickly as a child and had mental problems. Everyone in Gotham thought he was dead.
He doesn't seem sickly, but he definitely has mental problems. After years away from home, he comes back and immediately announces he's running for mayor.
Bruce suspects a prank by the Fifth Dimension and decides to keep a close eye on him.
After all, what normal person has a campaign slogan like, “Owls and bats, get out of Gotham!”?
Owlman is reborn. This time, the world is a little different, and he plans to go straight.
When fate catches up with him again, Gotham tells him there's unfinished business.
He wants to say that the one who owes money is the one in charge, but unfortunately, his brother doesn't die this time.
He's confident he can break his promise without a hitch, until he discovers that his brother has turned into a bat.
Owlman: How do you take care of a bat?

Very beautiful, boss! You must keep writing it! I feel like it has a very interesting setting, and the characters seem to be very suitable, as well as the Gotham City simulation. I am looking forward to the subsequent plot.
Looking forward to it, it will feel good. [Come on] [Come on] [Come on]
It looks good and feels a bit gray and harmonious. [Come on] [Come on] [Come on]
It's so good that it's Billy the little angel from p52 [bunny head with prick ears]. The old version of Billy is just a fragrant and soft little cake [sprinkled with flowers], which makes people feel warm [laughing]
[Prick-eared Rabbit Head] Another flavor of owl, home-cooked food tastes delicious [Dog Head Holds Rose]
The new cover looks good [Spread Flowers], no need to worry about the boss running away.
It's so delicious, boss, I want to eat [lop-eared rabbit head]
